Ok, I am not as big as I used to be. But I remember being pretty fat, and I remember people asking if I was pregnant when I weighed 175. Then when I gained more, I never got that reaction again, cuz when I first gained weight, it was all in my tummy. Then it arrived in my face, my arms, etc.
And considering my height, when I was at my heaviest I looked a lot bigger than I should have. My largest size was 20, and my top weight was 205. I am now a size 16, which is more than double when I weighed 135. Only 35 pounds lighter than I am today. Most people do not lose 7 sizes with 35 pounds. Everyone looks different and because I have no muscle, my weight is more fat than anything else.
So yes, I was definitely a rolly-polly. If I had the nerve I would post a pic of my belly today, but I am too embarrassed by the "overhang."
I am still a "rolly-polly" but I am learning to live with it. I would rather be healthy than skinny. Follow my health journey at my blog "My Health Quest" @ http://jhhealthquest.blogspot.com/

Hey there sweetie, I have been busy with the A-Z Challenge issued by Arlee @tossing it out, for the month of April...we are finished and it was a hoot, but I was unable to get to all the blogs I follow due to time issues...so glad to see you are doing the healthy thing and not just trying to be a skinny mini...I too am on a healthy weight loss journey and have lost 20lbs so far...40 more to go but the healthy way! Keep at it sweetie, you can do it!
Good evening. I hope you're hubby and you get to feeling better. I hope that your quest for a better healthy life style goes grandly. I know it's harder than just about anything in the world but you can do it.

I'm losing weight and I'm very happy with myself. I guess I do carry my weight well because people never believe I weigh what I do. I'm almost 199 now and my top weight was almost 260. I can't believe that I ever let myself get that way!
I'm following from Trendy Treehouse. :) Hopefully you can stop by and check us out as well.
